Assembly Instructions:
Breeder Series Cage
Step 1: Attach the Vine Holders
ese vine holders attach to the top panel and will provide a convenient anchor
to loop articial vines. ey can also be used to hang any internal decorations or
feeding bowls that t into your design.
Find the two pre-drilled holes on the top panel and attach the vine holders using
the screws included in the vine holder bag.
Step 2: Construct the Cage Core
A) To attach the Top Panel, line up the screw holes on the top of the Back Panel and on the back of the Top Panel
frame. e Top Panel attaches to the PVC side of the back panel with the vine holders on the cage inside.
B) e Bottom Panel is attached in the same manner as the Top Panel. Attach with the groove side of the Bottom
Panel facing down.
e cage core is the top, back, and bottom panels attached. Use the long screws to
attach these panels together. Attach them laying horizontally on a table as shown.
e core will not be independently stable yet.

A) Trap Door
is piece is labeled “Face Panel Bot-
tom”. Lay it at the bottom of the open
portion of the cage and align the
pre-drilled holes on the sides. Attach
from sides with two long screws.
B) Main Door
Lay the main door in place
and align the hinges with the
holes in the door frame. Use
the four short screws that
remain.
C) Bottom Panel
Slide the PVC oor panel into the
bottom. Ensure it goes all the way
to the back. You have completed
the cage assembly!
Step 3: Attach the Sides
e important part about attaching the sides is to make sure all the pre-drilled holes are properly
lined up. e key to this is to nd the one edge on both the side frame and the PVC sheet that has
only one hole drilled (Two holes drilled for the Large Breeder cage). is hole is for the trap door
and is placed at the front bottom. e PVC white wall is sandwiched between the side frame and the
cage core you assembled in step 2.
HINT: Verify that holes line up before screwing the screws in. Although you can drill rm enough
to create your own holes in the PVC white wall, the easiest way is to line up the correct screw holes
in the frame and wall !

B) Add Right Side.
Repeat with Right Side Panel. Ensure that
the hinge ends are not sandwiched be-
tween the frame and the PVC wall.
Step 4: Attach the Trap Door and Main Door
e trap door provides an easy way to spot clean the oor without disturbing the cage inhab-
itant. It swings up pivoting on two screws. e main door swings out. You should have four
small screws remaining. ese are for the hinges.
